In addition, there are also three new dance emotes, for Baptiste, Hammond and Ashe and players will receive one bonus Legendary Anniversary Loot Box, which will guarantee one Legendary item, just for logging in during the event.

Players who purchase the 50 Loot Box bundle from the store will receive another Legendary Anniversary Loot Box as well.

During the event, players can also play old seasonal brawls and earn loot from past events from loot boxes or via credits. These old brawls will cycle in every day.

The Workshop

In addition, Blizzard has also announced that the Overwatch Workshop, currently only available on PC, has finally come to PS4 as well.

For those that don’t know, the Workshop is a simple game scripting system that gives players the power to customise features in the Game Browser and create their own custom Overwatch games. This means that players can create scripts, and add Rules and play Conditions on top of the established game modes players already have.

Worshop Features: “We’re excited to share a new in-game feature called the Workshop! The Workshop greatly expands the game customization features available in the Game Browser by providing a simplified game scripting system. Enhance the Overwatch game modes you know and love with new game rules, new victory conditions, adjustments to the hero movement and abilities, and much more. Once you’ve designed an awesome new game mode, create a code to share it with your friends or the whole community!

"We’re excited to see what you come up with! Note that Workshop is a complex feature that we’re still iterating on, so we may need to adjust or turn it off as we work to improve it.”
